Evilchicken0 Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 That will a cat ... write off. Personally I would steer clear of it, if you look at keeping the frame then look carefully around the headstock. If your on a budget then rebuilding the bike is never as cheap as you think it will be the money you'll spend on it could be put into buying a much better bike.

4tgp Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 In my very humble opinion, I wouldn't try to fix the frame. Anything you do will only weaken it further. The material is designed to be shaped once and also will have age hardened. If you can get it MOT'd just ride it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't a specfic budget as such but want to get it back on the road as cheap as I can.

Anyone know if they changed anything on the frames on the C and D models ? One I've got is a '98 D6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if the mechanicals swap but frames are certainly quite different. EDIT: Look at a few pics. The main frame behind the engine / under the seat is L shaped on the C and Y shaped on the D. That and the C’s offset single ram air and the D’s wider dual ram air intakes are the two simple ways to tell them apart from the other side of the street. Thanks for the info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
